1tspvanilla
Instructions
Prep a 8x8 dish with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan combine the white granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and butter. Place over medium heat, stirring every few minutes until boiling.
Let the mixture boil for another 2 minutes while continuously stirring for the sugars to break down and dissolve. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Mix together until completely smooth.
Pour the peanut butter fudge into the prepared baking dish. Spreading evenly. You can drizzle 1/4 c. caramel sauce evenly over the fudge too if you like now. You can also place pretzels on top of the fudge now if you like, covering every inch of the pan.
Let cool completely on the counter, this will take about an hour. Best if you the cover top with plastic wrap once cooled and put into the fridge for 1-2 hours until completely solidified before slicing.
Once hardened store on the countertop in an airtight container. Best if you can wrap in plastic wrap and then in a container for best results.
